    Not really- it's best to keep your interventions on the conservative side when you don't yet know the cause.

    I totally agree with the soaks- especially if she has room to do swimming motions- with your hand supporting her mid-body so she can swim in place. That often helps the most.

    But the cause could be anything from simple dehydration + inactivity, to swallowing something she cannot digest, to one or more urate stones blocking her cloaca, to something like a tumor.

    It must be the season for "sausage butt"- you're the second one today! > https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...d-constipation

    Maybe because with the heat on, the air in our houses is much dryer & our snakes are more prone to dehydration.
